Las Vegas blog for news, tips and WTF.

Despite a quarter million downloads under our belt, we’re still not sure you should listen to our podcast. Fair warning.

If you do, you’ll hear news and opinions and quite possibly things that will get us sued. The things we do for you.

In this episode, we share our experiences at three new downtown restaurants: Eureka on Fremont East (pictured below), Flock & Fowl at the Ogden and Good Pie at Pawn Plaza.

Eureka’s management informed us we couldn’t take photos inside the restaurant. Eureka’s management can suck it.

We round up all the latest scoop about Steve Wynn and his mind-boggling fall from grace in recent weeks, including news about what Wynn Resorts projects are likely to move forward (Wynn Paradise Park, but without a hotel) and which could be shelved.

This lowly podcast has all the skinny you need to stay in the loop about what’s opening when (The Drew Las Vegas), who’s building what (MSG Sphere) and what else is coming down the pike (upgrades to the Fremont Street Experience).

Look, we’re as sick of this podcast as you are, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t listen, anyway.

In this week’s show, we blather on about Hard Rock being sold, Britney Spears getting a new Vegas gig, shark fin soup being banned and all the other Sin City news you need to get the most out of your visit.

Hard Rock’s memorabilia are expected to go away under new ownership, so check it out while you can.

The “Listicle of the Week” will blow your mind, so break out that dental damn!

This week’s listicle delves into the realm of Las Vegas hotel housekeeping, and we’d wager a Bitcoin you’ll learn something new about this vital and sometimes mysterious aspect of the Las Vegas experience.

How do Vegas hotel housekeepers know when your box of facial tissues is running low? The tissues change color! Now, you know.

Did you know a housekeeping cart weighs 500 pounds? Neither did we!

Join us for news, rumors and speculation and lots of special guests, at least some of whom have had fistfights with slot machines.

Our first podcast episode of 2018 is a stunning departure from our typical episode, mainly because we’re trying to dupe you into listening.

Don’t waste a minute of the new year scrambling around for Las Vegas news, we’ve spent upwards of 10 minutes gathering it for you.

Get all the latest Vegas scoop, including stories about Good Pie coming to Pawn Plaza, Olives closing at Bellagio, “Illusion Mental” opening at Planet Hollywood, Fizz lounge closing and opening again at Caesars Palace, Alize closing at Palms and more.

Adios 2017, or whatever year we took this photo.

But wait, there’s more.

There’s “Renegades” coming to Cleopatra’s Barge at Caesars, “World’s Greatest Rock Show” is closing at Stratosphere, Criss Angel’s show is closing at Luxor (in a year, so don’t have a mind freak), Alexxa’s Bar is coming to Paris, Emeril Lagasse’s Table 10 has closed at Palazzo, Black Tap has opened at Venetian and Country Club steakhouse is about to call it quits at Wynn.

Adios, Cactus Rose at Table 10.

It’s a cavalcade of things there’s a remote chance you care about, so take a listen to this, our final episode of the first season of the Vital Vegas Podcast.

Welcome to the only Las Vegas podcast that’s in the Gaming Control Board’s “Black Book.” It’s also the podcast not particularly invested in “facts” or “reality,” obviously.

This week’s “Listicle of the Week” is “12 Weird, Wonderful Facts About Roulette.” Learn about “mucking,” left and right-hand roulette tables, dealer “signatures,” “section shooting” and why you can’t cash roulette chips at the cage.

Included in this week’s festivities is an interview with the founder of Monster Mini Golf, Christina Vitagliano. Vitagliano talks about Kiss Mini Golf at Rio and shares insights about the new “Twilight Zone” Mini Golf at Bally’s Las Vegas.

“Twilight Zone” Mini Golf at Bally’s features lots of nods to episodes of the iconic series, including these adorable aliens from “The Invaders.”

We share some Las Vegas adventures including craps at Four Queens, roulette at The D and all the inside Las Vegas scoop you can carry.

There’s also news about Bellagio’s latest Conservatory display, as well as details about one of the best happy hours in Las Vegas, 107 SkyLounge at Stratosphere.

Oh, yes, we did. Twice.

In the “Listicle of the Week,” we cover “10 Examples of Bad Behavior in Las Vegas.” You know who you are.

We also take part in a lovely chat with two Las Vegas visitors from Ireland, a whole other country from what we hear.

Pour yourself a Captain and diet, slip into your best latex bondage sack, oil up those earbuds and shove some Sin City into your Eustachian tubes, whatever those might actually be.
